Section 112 Civil strife
Thousands of miles away were like troubles. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he felt more and more that he could not control the situation. Whether in the Holy Country or in the controlled areas of the Holy Kingdom, conflicts between old and new appeared alternately, and there was an increasingly intensified phenomenon, but the Holy King did not seem to agree with his own point of view.
The thick tea cannot resist the invasion of fatigue at all. This is a feeling of exhaustion. Bo Jinchen seems to be able to feel the difficulty in recent times and the internal and external difficulties. The stupid guys in the Holy Cult are still shouting, demanding to fulfill the empty promises made during the Holy Cult preaching. Humph, both rich and poor, the residents have their own fields, houses and homes, and three policies to change the privilege of gentry monopolizing politics. But do these guys who don’t even know each other to manage the place? Bo Jinchen doesn’t know how the Holy King thought about it, but at least the Holy King’s attitude has expressed such a message. At least he does not object to this opinion, and even supports it.
Bo Jinchen was very worried that if he wanted to achieve the so-called three-way policy and equalize the wealth and poverty, reform politics, if someone wanted to gain something, some people would lose something, which would inevitably trigger a situation where he worked hard to maintain it barely stable. The noble gentry whose interests were infringed would inevitably make a strong rebound. The side of himself, who was already very weak in the righteousness, would probably never win the support of those noble gentry who had a wait-and-see attitude, and even the one he had tried his best to win over.
Some people would also change their positions in an instant. He would definitely not want to see this phenomenon happen, but it seems that all this was not transferred by his will. But Bo Jinchen could not see what would happen in the control area of the Holy Kingdom if he left these people and even the support of neutral fence-riding nobles and gentry. Even Bo Jinchen himself had to admit that he underestimated the power of the aristocratic class formed by the Tanghe Empire over the past few hundred years. It was obviously not realistic to change it in a short period of time, but it seemed that time was not on his side.
"Previous, Lord Yu Yongzhi asked for a meeting." The guard's voice woke Bo Jinchen up and frowned slightly. Bo Jinchen immediately regained his usual calmness, "Please come in."
Yu Yongzhi? Why did this guy who thought he had outstanding military achievements come here? Bo Jinchen had no good feelings for this guy who was always around the Holy King, concentrating on pleasing the Holy King but disregarding reality. If he had not seen his performance in the Heshuo Battle, he would not have paid any attention to such a flattering person at all. However, since the Heshuo Battle, this guy seemed to be more and more favored in front of the Holy King, and his voice became louder and louder. Sometimes he didn't even buy his own marks. Bo Jinchen didn't care whether the other party bought his own account, but if his strategy was not implemented, he would not tolerate it.
"I've seen Bo Xiang." A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in quickly. Seeing Bo Jinchen's gentle gaze aimed at him, he felt a little surprised and quickly bowed.
"Yongzhi, sit, why? The front line is calm. If you have time to go back to the saints, do you have time to see the saints? Do you have to meet the saint king?" Bo Jinchen intimately signaled that the other party did not have to be too polite, and pointed to the position next to him to signal the other party to take his seat before he opened his mouth and asked.
"Bo Xiang, my subordinate has just come from the Holy King, and I have just reported some things to the Holy King. The Holy King means to ask Bo Xiang to show me whether the advice of my subordinate can be implemented." Although the middle-aged man seemed respectful, the arrogant smell in his bones was revealed without reservation.
A cold smile in his heart. Even though Bo Jinchen was generous, he was a little angry, but his expression became more and more gentle. As a military general, he didn't report to himself, the martial artist first, but went directly to the Holy King. This was clearly a manifestation of contempt for his authority. However, Bo Jinchen did not want to care about these things at this time. He was more concerned about what Yongzhi wanted to report.
"Oh? What's going on? Is there something wrong with Heshuo?" Bo Jinchen first considered whether there was another abnormal movement in the imperial army east of Heshuo.
"No, Bo Zheng, the empire's army is already in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although their third and fourth legions have been formed, according to their subordinates, their combat effectiveness may not be as strong as the original third legions. Compared with the Fourth Legion, if the city guards are still in the Qinghe Mansion, Bo Zheng still needs to consider it seriously."
Yu Yongzhi's words were full of confidence, which made Bo Jinchen feel more disdainful. At the same time, he was also worried. Jinzhong was the east gate of Heshuo, with the Qinghe Empire City Guards in the north and the two newly formed legions of the Empire in the east. The situation was not optimistic, but this guy was extremely arrogant. If something was going to happen, it would be beyond the reach of regret.
"Yongzhi, be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship. You can block the east side of Heshuo alone, be careful." Although knowing that such words are a bit difficult for the opposition, as the Wu Xiang, he must remind the other party. Seeing that the other party's face is unhesitant, Bo Jinchen still added calmly: "Don't underestimate the Imperial Army too much. There are people in the Imperial Army who can fight, but we have not met it yet."
"I know." Yu Yongzhi's face was already much ugly after trying hard to squeeze out a sentence. He was not good at concealing his emotions, and he was a little dissatisfied with Bo Jinchen's words as if he was telling a child. He was already a veteran who had been through many battles. He Shuo was beaten by his own family, but the other party always regarded him as a new recruit. How could he not feel uncomfortable?
"By the way, what's new happenings there?" Bo Jinchen finally brought the question back to the point.
"There are some new problems in Jinzhong and Hejian, especially Jinzhong. The coal mine owners are very cunning. They embraced themselves into groups and viciously exploited and enslaved miners. They did not allow their miners to join our army, and were very hostile to us. Some time ago, their so-called mine protection team even killed several miners who tried to escape quietly and joined our army. This aroused a strong reaction in our Holy Cult Army. The brothers all asked to teach these stubborn mine owners a lesson, especially those domineering mine owners, who should confiscate their property and make them pay their blood debts."
Yu Yongzhi's eyebrows were mixed with a hint of anger, and it can be seen that he also supported this idea. However, at the beginning of the founding of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, the upper class of the Holy Church reached a consensus that it would not over-touch the interests of the nobles and gentry for the time being. As long as they did not openly oppose the major policies of the Holy Church and did not publicly resist the implementation of the Holy Church, they would first confiscate the wealth of the aristocrats who had been in close contact with the imperial bureaucrats, and at the same time tried their best to win over some of the aristocrats who were waiting and watching, and try their best to comfort the lower classes who supported the Holy Church and supplement them with certain benefits.
However, this policy was full of controversy when it was released from the cage at the beginning, and even at the upper level of the Holy Church, it caused many contradictions. In addition, this general policy is quite ambiguity in the specific implementation. Different places have many different understandings of the policy, and they are even more diverse in their operations. However, in general, they still basically operate in the direction they were originally scheduled.
But as time went by, many problems gradually became exposed. In Beiyuan Prefectures, many believers who originally supported the Holy Church kept demanding more distribution of interests and demanding the liquidation of the nobles who were originally pressing on them. The Heshuo area was even more serious. Seeing that the Taiping Cult did not take too many extreme measures in Beiyuan, and all the things left by the people who were timid and discarded their family property and ran away were all returned to the public. Many nobles in Heshuo Prefectures chose to stay after being occupied by the Taiping Army. Except for a very small number of families with high public anger and close ties with the upper class of the empire, most of the others chose to have reserved cooperation and wait-and-see attitudes with the occupying army, at least on the surface, in order to preserve existing interests.
This also brought great trouble to the Taiping Army. If the original policy is continued, then all the nobles remained seem to be obedient, but they all knew in their hearts that most of them did not trust these new occupiers at all, and had to contact the Taiping Army purely to protect their original interests. This was originally a group of unstable factors, and the Taiping Army that did not gain much benefit could not meet the strong voices of the lower-class working people who demanded change and gained legitimate rights and interests. Even the consumption and supply of their own had problems. This contradiction is naturally difficult to be accepted by local operators such as the Taiping Army. The intensification of the contradiction must require a solution, which is particularly prominent in Jinzhong, so Yu Yongzhi's trip to Anyuan. Yu Yongzhi was entrusted again, and he did not dare to make a fuss to change the policies that the Holy Church was unanimous. He needed to obtain the support of the supreme leader, so he reported to You Daofang and put forward his own suggestions as soon as possible.
After hearing what Yu Yongzhi said, Bo Jinchen immediately understood the other party's implication. There was no doubt that the guy in front of him supported the fierce action against the mine owners, and probably received the approval of the Holy King. However, the Holy King probably did not want to have a quarrel with himself who originally supported the policies at that time on this matter, so he deliberately sent Yu Yongzhi to test his ideas.
